Watching the Paint Dry

Well, today was supposed to be pretty much of a day of rest. In the afternoon I took Mikey to an AWANA function at Chuckie Cheese. Afterward, I stopped by the church to check my e-mail and update my site.

That is when the trouble started.

I turned my back on Mikey for a couple of minutes, and when I turned around, he had drawn something closely resembling a Picasso on the wall with dry-erase markers.

Now in case you don't know, there is absolutely nothing that takes dry-erase marker off of a wall. I found this out a couple of hours of hard scrubbing.

So finally, after taking Mikey home to his mother (which I should have done FIRST) I searched in the church closet until I found the exact paint used on this particluar wall. I then needed a paintbrush. It was at this point that I discovered that our church has about two thousand side rooms which may or may not contain painting equipment.

After about twenty minutes of looking, I found a paint roller and pan, and proceeded to paint the wall. Oh, and I forgot to mention that, to stir the paint, I had to go outside, break off a small branch from a tree, and bring it back inside.

Now I am sitting here, blogging, and waiting for the paint to dry to see if it will blend in with the rest of the wall.

So how was your evening?
